▪:Step 3: Find the 'lasso tool' and right click it. Select the 'Polygonal lasso tool'. (see image below)
▪:Step 4: Using the 'Polygonal lasso tool', create spikes by clicking to stop and make a point. You should have a spiky image like the one showned below. Make sure that beginning and endpoint of your shape meet.
▪:Step 5: Pick a color in the color chooser. (Click the color box once to make a menu pop out so you can pick your selected color.) Click on the 'Paint Bucket Tool'.
▪:Step 6: Fill in that spiky selected area with the Paint Bucket Tool. It should look like this. (It is best to use a dark shade of color than a lighter one).

▪Step 8: Using the move tool, move the image on this new layer over to the side a bit.
